Handmade Ceramic Bow Matcha Bowl White Chawan with Spout

【About the Product】 ｜Material｜ Japanese porcelain clay, food-safe glaze ｜Purpose｜Matcha bowl, Chawan ｜Dimensions｜ Rim diameter approx. 10.5 cm (approx. 12 cm including the spout) × Height 7 cm (±2 cm natural hand-thrown variation) ｜Origin｜Hand-thrown and handmade in Taiwan ｜Capacity｜ Approx. 300-350 ml when full ※Usage Guidelines: The Morning Mist White Matcha Bowl is fully glazed inside and out. Featuring a wide rim, deep well, and a smooth-pouring spout, it is exceptionally comfortable to use—whether you are whisking matcha with a Chasen or using it as a Gongdao Bei (fairness cup) to share tea. The glaze has a beautifully textured matte finish, which feels more delicate and softer than glossy glazes. Please handle it with care during daily use. We recommend avoiding sharp metal spoons or abrasive objects to prevent scratches or metallic marks on the surface. ※ Cleaning & Maintenance: After use, please wash it promptly with clean water or a mild dish soap using a gentle sponge, then place it in a well-ventilated area to dry completely. We advise against scrubbing with steel wool or coarse scouring pads. Due to the extremely fine natural pores on the surface of matte glazes, they tend to absorb pigments more easily than general glossy glazes. Please keep it dry during daily storage. If used for highly staining liquids such as matcha or black coffee, please rinse immediately after use to prevent color absorption. ※ Handcrafted Characteristics: Every single matcha bowl with a spout is individually hand-thrown and hand-glazed, then fired at a high temperature of 1230°C. Therefore, unique differences naturally occur in the subtle curves of the body, the elegant lines of the spout, and the flow and thickness distribution of the matte glaze. Influenced by the handcrafted process and high kiln temperatures, the rim may not be a perfect circle. During the high-temperature firing, natural trace iron minerals within the clay may surface as tiny black spots or specks on the glaze. The foot ring at the bottom of the bowl is meticulously wiped free of glaze by hand, maintaining a natural unglazed bare clay state. The edges of the base are carefully smoothed; any slight trimming marks or a steady, textured grip are completely normal characteristics of handmade pottery. https://i.postimg.cc/FzMbfym2/Raorao-Studi-pinkoi-tu-(1).png **【About Handmade Ceramics】** -**Each piece is crafted by hand**. Due to the shrinkage of clay and the natural movement of glaze in the kiln, the actual piece will not be identical to the photos. The following conditions are natural phenomena of handmade ceramics rather than defects. Please make sure you appreciate these traits before placing your order: -**Dimensional Variations**: Due to manual shaping and kiln shrinkage, the size of the final product may vary by approximately ±1-1.5 cm compared to the descriptions, and the curves of the silhouette may differ slightly. -**Glaze Appearances**: Glaze naturally flows during the firing process, which may result in unique variations in gloss, localized color specks, or tiny pinholes. -**Natural Imprints**: Occasional tiny black spots (clay minerals), crazing (fine ice-like cracks in the glaze), a slightly grainy texture, or faint staining marks may appear on the surface. -**Screen Color Differences**: Photos can be affected by shooting lights and individual monitor settings. Please refer to the actual item received for true colors and styles. 𐃢𐃡 **【Usage & Care Suggestions】** To extend the life and maintain the beautiful texture of your ceramics, we recommend the following care methods: -**First Use**: We suggest soaking your pottery in rice water for a few hours prior to its first use. This helps fill the natural pores and reduces water absorption. -**Microwave Safety**: This piece is microwave-safe, but please avoid heating it empty or overheating it for extended periods. -**Cleaning**: Dishwashers are not recommended. We highly recommend handwashing with a mild detergent and letting it air dry naturally, as strong water jets and extreme heat may cause fine lines in the glaze. -**No Direct Flame**: Do not use over an open flame or direct heat source. -**Temperature Notice**: Avoid sudden, drastic temperature changes (thermal shock) to prevent the pottery from cracking due to rapid expansion or contraction. -**Natural Agemarkings**: Over time, white or light-colored vessels may develop crazing (glaze cracks) and slight tea stains. These are beautiful signs of time from natural use and will not affect the function of the bowl. 𐃢𐃡 **【Shipping Packaging & Gift Box Service】** To stay eco-friendly and ensure safe delivery, our daily shipments are carefully protected using tissue paper and honeycomb paper.
